I am looking to purchase my first two crappie rods.

I have always been a fan of the Ugly Stik, as the ones I own (for other species) have out lasted everything else I have used, but I don't know if they are the best tool for this job.
Anybody have experience with the Ugly Stik Ultralights? or something in the same $ range?

The two that I am looking at are:
7' UL (2 piece) "ugly stik lite" spinning model# SP11702UL for slip bobber & live minnows.

5' UL (1 piece) "ugly stik lite" spinning model# SP11502UL for dock shooting/misc plastics.

I am looking for a brand/rod to stick with and build upon........Thanks!
